Flock & ALPR Cameras in Lexington, Kentucky
Volunteers have reported 60 automated license plate readers in and around Lexington — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 60 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Lexington, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 57 of them sit inside Lexington itself.
The rest sit in Nicholasville (2).
29 of them name an operator in the record: Lexington Police Department (18), Flock Safety (8), Nicholasville Police Department (2), Leinbach Company (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.

What’s watching Lexington
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Lexington — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Lexington (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
